Welcome to the Temple University<\/a> Biomechanics Laboratory, a research facility within the Mechanical Engineering Department<\/a> of the College of Engineering<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

At the Temple Biomechanics Lab (TBL), we primarily focus on the constitutive modeling of soft tissues and the biomechanics of thoracic and brain injuries. We employ state-of-the-art experimental and computational methods to investigate the viscoelasticity, nonlinearity, heterogeneity, anisotropy, and damage in biological and other materials relevant to safety and injury mitigation. Our research has received significant funding from organizations such as the NIH-NHLBI, American Heart Association, US Navy, US Army, PA Department of Health CURE, and DePuy Synthes. As an interdisciplinary effort, our work involves collaborative research projects with faculty members from the Lewis Katz School of Medicine<\/a> and the Rothman Institute<\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
